As always, I started "remastering" with the intent of doing it quickly, but
adequately enough to my ears. That is never enough (as I am sure you
musical editing freaks are aware) so I went through a number of iterations to
get a very much enhanced recording. I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely
(imho) that this came out.
One thing that made it difficult to make it sound pristine, is that there
is an inherent distortion on the right channel. What I like about the distortion,
is that it is mostly on Weir's guitar, and it gives him a more distinctive sound.
All tracks were balanced via Cool Edit. The amplitudes of many tracks
were very low. These were all brought up to a reasonable level. Jerry
was way low in the mix, so a bit of the balance was edged towards the left
channel. All tracks were Quick-Filtered to bring out more of the highs
and bring back the sorely missing bass lines.
Fixes: cuts on Saturday Night and Morning Dew > Playin'
taken from 7295 and 're-massaged" to match all other tracks.

Let them cast a stone at me..
Good overall with lots of instrument separation Keith nice in the mix Unique sound recording for 1972. Want to track with Weir? this is TRACER Bobby on
...
Rhythm Bob's vocals also prominent 1st set Really tight RxR Blues tuning before El Paso? 2nd set (PLEASE-Make sure you have time to listen to this part of the show or I just about guarantee you will be late for whatever you supposed you had to do next.) PITB sandwich-FTP *****-----(omnihead,skydawg) I love the psychedelia of PLAYIN' in 72 Full on Donna Jean Jerry , Phil , Bob Keith & hard drivin' Bill even get a drum solo how often Drums>Dark Star??? The STAR picks up on mellow Bird Song jam of Set 1 then dissolves into SPACE a slight not total restatement of the Dark Star instrumental intro then at 10.25 the heart of the STAR "Dark star crashes" 🌹Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion Shall we go, you and I while we can Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?🌷 Into more SPACE with PHiL all over the lead players in the peyote quadrant of my skull JERRY distinctly fingering a meltdown The edginess of the sound for this show reminds me of when you plug a mic in that snap crackle pops and even shocks Phil goes for the Bass solo almost a 72 Feedback there The jam out is really sweet🌼 (24 minutes and change) Like there is a tune that never got lyrics in there🌻 and the TIGHTEN UP/ FEELIN' GROOVY jam. ---What it is all about fellow HEADS Riding a wave, standing on the mountaintop, making love worshipping Jesus... into the Morning Dew MELTDOWN right back into PITB sandwich ***** Looking at everything after the main jam in Second Set as encores / set closers Well worth the listen.

This review is for the show, not the recording. I actually was listening to the Miller version, but the review button is malfunctioning on that one. This
...
is apparently a somewhat famous show, and for 72, yes it's good. I'm not a big 71-72 guy, as I think their sound was too brittle and clean to be all that pleasant. This changed a lot in 73. I guess the Playing in the Band sandwich is noteworthy. The Dark Star is really boring, with none of the Gibson Les Paul thickness or the Irwin Wolf gain boost. Even not being a fan of the year, I've heard better from 72. Way better.
